First New York, then London, Milan and Paris and now … Chicago!

Stuck among the midst of cornfields, Champaign’s main source for all things up-to-date and trendy is Chicago. While the first four of those cities are known as the “big four” when it comes to fashion weeks, our windy city is now finally getting its own stylish spotlight! This Saturday, October 18, Her Campus is bringing College Fashion Week to Revel Downtown in Chicago. With swag bags, hair and makeup artists, samples from a fashion closet, plenty of photo ops and more, this is one event you don’t want to miss.

And it gets even better! bareMinerals, the official makeup sponsor of College Fashion Week, is hosting a pre-CFW primping party the night before on October 17! The event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the bareMinerals boutique store located on level five of Water Tower Place at 835 N. Michigan Avenue.

So grab your girls for a fun event before heading out for the night! Dress to impress in your most fashionable shopping attire. Light refreshments and snacks will be served as a DJ plays the hottest tracks all while you enjoy 15% off with your student ID. Pick up a new makeup trick for a night out when you return to Champaign or impress your friends with your beauty knowledge with bareMinerals’ makeup artists standing by to help you! They will be teaching tutorials on things like how to achieve the perfect smoky eye or a flawless natural, no makeup look. You can also sign up at the event to get a signature bareMinerals full face make-under just in time to go out. Plus enter to win a $100 bareMinerals gift card.*

This night is all about spending quality time with your girlfriends, learning some amazing makeup tricks and scoring an awesome limited-time discount on all bareMinerals products! What better way to spend a weekend with no football game or block? We hope to see you there!
